aarccultural, ORANGE QUINCE. — This fruit is of re cent introduction in many localities, where its habitudes are not yet fully understood. It takes high rank among culinary fruits, aud is eminently deserving all the atten tion and care that can be bestowed upon it. Salt is an excellent manure far the orrange aoince. Prepare rich, deep loam by care ful digging, and having transplanted your trees, sow on about four quarts of salt to each tree, taking care to apply it over the surface to the entire extent of the surface shaded by the limbs, but not in immediate contact with the trunk. Over this spread a small quantity of hay or grass, saturated with salt. This process of mulching will be found both efficient and economical, and will tend to protect the trees from the attacks of insectivorous depredators, as well as to secure a vigorou developement of the spongiolcs—the genuine lac/ads of of the vegetable system. The saw and pruuing-knife should be used but sparingly during the hrst years of its growth. CLARIFYING LARD OIL FOR THE HAIR —To every 20 pints of lard oil add one of alcohol; place them in a clean glass ves sel and shake them frequently for about two days, after which allow them to stand until they become quite clear and a sedi ment has fallen to the bottom. Pour off the clear and use it for hair oil. It may be colored a light purple with alkanet root, and also scented with the essential oi! of lavender, rosemary, bergamot, Arc. Maintaining the same proportion of parts by measure—one of alcohol to twenty of lard—s pint of the latter may be clarified as well as twenty. GINGER BEER. —Two gallons of ginger beer may be made as follows:—Put two gallons of cold water into a pot upon the fire; acid to it two ounces of good ginger, and two pounds of white or brown sugar. Let all this come to the boil, and continue boiling for half an hour. Then skim the liquor and pour it into a jar or tub, along with one sliced lemon, and half an ounce of cream of tartar. When nearly cold, put in a teacupfu! of yeast to cause ihe li quor to work. The brer is now made; and after it has worked two days, strain it and bottle it for use. Tie the corks down firmly. WASHING SILVERWARE. —It seems that housekeepers who wash their silverware with soap and water, as the common prac tice is, do not know what they are about. The proprietor of one of the oldest silver establishments in the city of Philadelphia says that housekeepers ruin their silver by washing it in soapsuds; it makes it look like pewter. Never put a particle of soap about your silver and it will retain its orig inal lustre. When it wants polish take a piece of soft leather and whiting, and rub it hard. RICE CAKES. —BoiI rice until it is soft, and while it is warm make it into cakes or flat ba;.s. Dip these balls into a beaten egg, and then roil them into Indian meal till thoroughly coated. '1 his done, frv them i.i laid, which is better than butter for this purpose. Serve them with sauce, or with butter and cream and s gar. MOI LDINESS. —I ruit jellies may be pre served from mouldiness, by covering the surface one-fourth of an inch deep with finely pulverized luaf sugar. Thus pro tected they will keep in good condition for ten years. 1857. 1857. OPENING OF SPRING GOODS AT THE SHAWLS, PAKASOI.S, MANTILLAS. STRAW GOODS.

I never sold a botile of it but that sold an other; after a trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things about tbu herb that appears to me sur prising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some pta ces quite plentiful, and yet us value has never been known until I discovered it in Its 10 —second, that it should cure all kinds of humor. in order to give some idea of the sudden rise ard great popularity of the discovery, I w ill state that in April, 1553.1 peddled it and sold about six bottles per day—in April. 1554, Isold over one thousand bottles per day of it. Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in business twenty and thirty years, say that nothing in the annals of patent medicines was everjike it. There is a universal praise of it from all quarters. In my own practice I always kept it strictly for humors bu: since its introduction as a general family medicine, great and wonderful virtues have been found in it that I never suspected. Several cases of epileptic fits—a disease which was always considered incurable, have been cured by a few bollles. O, what a mercy if it will prove effectual in ali cases of that awful malady—there are few who have seen more of it than 1 have. I know of several c*sesof Dropsy, all of tb.-m ige-i people, cured by it. For the various diseases.if ibe LIT IT, Sick Headache.

This machine took the premium at Y'ork, Huntingdon, Carlisle, Chambersburg, Harris ourg, Beliefonte, and othei places too numerous to mention. Last summer we had hundreds cf testimonials and official reports, vouching the superiority of this machine over all others now in use. This machine excels all others in the following points, viz: Its easy convertibility from a Mower to a Reaper and vice versa : its construction for adaptation to uneven surface ; the ease with which it can be raised or lowered, for cutting from two inches to eighteen inches from the ground, which is done by means of a lever controlled by the driver while in his seat; its ease ot draft, portability, and cleanness and ease of cut. Many of these features are pat ented and cannot be embodied in any other ma chine, and all will admit how essential and in dispensable they are to a complete combined machine. With each machine will be furnish ed two scythes, two extra guards, two extra sections, one extra pinion and wrench. 1 hey are warranted to give satisfaction, eith er as a Mower or Reaper, or no sale Price $l4O. delivered in Lewistown.
